Equifax loses data

You'll notice that I've piled on Equifax here from time to time; they're widely considered the worst of the three major credit bureaus.

They recently demonstrated the truth of that reputation once again. Earlier this week, they announced that a company laptop had been stolen; it contained data on more than half of the company's employees. (link)

Even though this incident only affects Equifax employees, it begs the question; if they can't protect the data of their own employees, how can we be sure they're protecting ours? All the while, they're one of the major companies pushing to limit credit freeze legislation.
